Hide-Module Description
This module aims to develop knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to effective teaching and management of learners with ASDs. It will explore the theories that consolidate the implementation of a learner-centred philosophy. Participants will be introduced to a range of evidence-based skills that enables them to implement a learner-centred approach, given that there is no definitive evidence to support one particular intervention for all learners with ASDs.
Participants may progress to Masters level on successful completion of four modules from those listed below which must include the online blended learning module on Educational Research Methods.
